Private notice question about a treaty

House of Lords

A step of type Business step.

A private notice question (PNQ) gives a member of the House of Lords the opportunity to ask an urgent and important question to the government on any sitting day. Questions that are selected must be related to a very recent or imminent event or development, important in terms of public policy or have more than a local or temporary significance.

Librarian notes

Scope note: PNQs in the Lords have only been tabled once for a treaty. However, a question could occur at any stage of a treaty's procedural life in the House so we should keep an eye on the Lords Business for any new items.
